Additional field(s): Environment & Ecology
English term or phrase: greenhouse effect
Definition from physics.fortlewis.edu:
An increase in temperature caused when incoming solar radiation is passed but outgoing thermal radiation is blocked by the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide and water vapor are two of the major gases responsible for this effect.

Example sentence(s):
  • Without the greenhouse effect life on this planet would probably not exist as the average temperature of the Earth would be a chilly -18° Celsius, rather than the present 15° Celsius. PhysicalGeography.net
  • The earth has a natural greenhouse effect due to trace amounts of H20 and CO2 that naturally occur. The enhanced greenhouse effect refers to the augmentation of these natural gases by human activities. Greenhouse Effect
  • Atmospheric water vapour (H2O) also makes a large contribution to the natural greenhouse effect but it is thought that its presence is not directly affected by human activity. Hong Kong Observatory

温室効果
Definition:
温室効果（おんしつこうか）とは、大気圏を有する惑星の表面から発せられる放射（電磁波により伝達されるエネルギー）が、大気圏外に届く前にその一部が大気中の物質に吸収されることで、そのエネルギーが大気圏より内側に滞留し結果として大気圏内部の気温が上昇する現象。

温室効果


Definition from Wikipedia:
温室効果（おんしつこうか）とは、大気圏を有する惑星の表面から発せられる放射（電磁波により伝達されるエネルギー）が、大気圏外に届く前にその一部が大気中の物質に吸収されることで、そのエネルギーが大気圏より内側に滞留し結果として大気圏内部の気温が上昇する現象。

Example sentence(s):
  • 大気中の赤外線を吸収する物質として二酸化炭素（CO2)、水蒸気（H2O)、メタン（CH4)などがあり温室効果ガスとよばれています。これらのガスによって地表面が温められることを温室効果といいます。 - 実線女子大学生活環境講座  
  • 産業革命以降、特に20世紀に入ってからは急速に、二酸化炭素、メタン、人工物質であるハロカーボン類などの温室効果ガスが増加しつつあり、これがもたらす地球温暖化は、自然の生態系や人間社会に大きな影響を及ぼし、人類の生存基盤を揺るがす問題となっています。 - 気象庁  
  • 地球との類似点が多いことから「地球の双子星」と呼ばれる金星が、「温室効果」の影響で、豊かな水をたたえた安息の星から灼熱（しゃくねつ）の地獄に変化していた――。欧州宇宙機関（European Space Agency、ESA）の金星探査機｢ビーナス・エクスプレス（Venus Express）｣による探査計画チーム研究者が、8日発行の英科学誌ネイチャー（Nature）にこのような学説を掲載した。 - AFP通信
